若不能把前一年取得的经验用到下一年,岂不是虚度年华?美国有关计算机专家将新一年中应该注意的事项做了归纳,我们不妨借鉴一下。进入Internet时代:Internet时代的来临使工业进入飞速发展的阶段,而IT经理们的任务就是应付不断发生着的变化,必要时还得向财务总监申述理由以获取足够的预算裕度,因为Web年代每发生一件大事都会影响到企业财年的预算。另外,从其它商业经理手中高价“挖”人才也是必要的,顺便说一句,如果你尚未建立企业内部网,那么应该在1997年里建一个。昂贵的PC物主权:拥有PC的开支高的离奇,并且硬件生产商最终也认为,针对去年中出现的网络计算机及其类似产品的相应开支也得这么多。如果你还没有判定哪些是PC真正的开支,那么应当在1997年尽快明确,并找出减少这种支出的办法。IT经理们还应不断促使系统制造厂商改善他们PC中的管理功能。软件厂商必须停止使用各种不切实际的支援协议以吸引顾客,而提出网络计算机的厂商也必须证明他们的瘦客户机概念是如何实际工作的。永远保持时尚:追赶时尚是很有趣的,但是同时系统还必须不断地研制。Java、ActiveX、NC和Internet都是风靡一时的事物,不过1996年真正大量的企业开发是围绕数据库、前端系统、大型机和事务处理进行的,这些都将在1997年中继续下来。谨慎地选择带宽:尽快地从这儿往那儿传送数据比以往显得更加重要。美国电信管理解禁,以及由此造成的局部市场竞争的加剧会在1997年产生良性循环。精明的电信经理们只要打对了牌就会取得好的成绩。公元2000年:2000年正一步步向我们走来,你知道你的策略在哪儿吗? 避免卷入联盟:美国第一任总统George Washington卸任之际曾告诚他的新国家不要卷入联盟之中,IT经理们也应如此。面对日趋复杂的IS系统,要尽可能从一个厂商那里选择购卖比较漂亮的解决方案。另外也不要忘记1996年度最大事件之一就是Novell公司的磨难。这家曾几乎是网络的代名词的大公司因为自己的失策以及Windows NT的侵袭而陷于困境。这种故事既然能发生在Novell公司上,而且也曾发生在一度举世无双的Apple和Borland身上,那么它也能发生在其它任何公司身上。总之,在新的一年中要小心谨慎。在Internet时代,事物变化委实太快,我们不希望把相同的忠告再留给下一年。 If we can not use the experience gained the previous year in the next year, would not it be a timeless achievement? The relevant computer experts in the United States have summarized the issues that should be noticed in the new year, and we can learn from it. Into the Internet era: The advent of the Internet era has brought the industry into a phase of rapid development, and IT managers are tasked with coping with ongoing changes and, if necessary, having to justify the CFO in order to obtain adequate budget margins because Web age Every major event affects the company’s fiscal year’s budget. In addition, it is also necessary to “dig” talent from other business managers at a high price. By the way, if you have not yet set up an intranet, you should build one in 1997. Expensive PC ownership: the bizarre expense of owning a PC, and hardware makers ultimately also think that there is so much more for the networked computers and similar products that appeared in the middle of last year. If you have not yet decided which are the real expenses of your PC, you should be as soon as possible in 1997 and identify ways to reduce such expenses. IT managers should also continually push system manufacturers to improve the management capabilities in their PCs. Software vendors must stop using impractical support agreements to attract customers, and vendors of networked computers must prove how their thin client concepts actually work. Stay Fashion Forever: It’s fun to catch up with fashion, but at the same time the system has to be constantly developed. Java, ActiveX, NC and the Internet are all the rage, but in 1996 a really large amount of enterprise development was done around databases, front-end systems, mainframes, and transactions, all of which will continue in 1997. Choose Your Bandwidth Carefully: Getting your data from here as quickly as possible is more important than ever. The lifting of the ban on telecommunications management in the United States and the resulting increase in local market competition will lead to a virtuous circle in 1997. Smart telco managers will achieve good results by playing against the cards. AD 2000: 2000 is coming to us step by step, do you know where your strategy? Avoid getting involved in the Union: George Washington, the first president of the United States, on his retirement, had the sincerity of his new country not to get involved in the Union IT managers should do the same. Faced with the increasingly complex IS system, as far as possible from a manufacturer where to choose to buy a more beautiful solution. Also, do not forget that one of the biggest incidents in 1996 was a tribute to Novell. The big company, which used to be almost a synonym for the Internet, was in trouble because of its own failures and the invasion of Windows NT. It can happen to any other company as it happens to Novell and the once-unmatched Apple and Borland. In short, be careful in the new year. In the Internet era, things change really fast, we do not want to leave the same advice for the next year.
